/**
 * This class handles creation of RAPViewXML classes which build xml documents which are forwarded to
 * the xsl for transformations into HTML. RAPViewXML is dependent on the particular database product
 * being used to take advantage of the features in those systems.
 *
 * <ul>To use the appropriate RAPViewXML class you MUST configure the channel parameter "dbProduct" to one
 * of the following:
 * 		<li>MSSQL - Microsoft SQL Server Database configuration
 * 		<li>MYSQL - MySQL Database Configuration
 * 		<li>ORACLE - Oracle Database Configuration
 * </ul>
 *
 * By default the forums use "MSSQL" as the supported database.
